[@Beswift1989]

He needs to loose the beard after the movie.

[@eilidhsomerville5554]

I agree. Not exactly a good look for him.

Robert Pine seems like a great guy, remember him back in the day in the 70's and 80's TV shows.

I was just re-watching the disaster movie “Independence Day”. Never noticed before, but Chris’ dad was the president’s advisor. Chris looks a lot like his Dad. Saw him in an early episode of Criminal Minds a few years ago too. He was a bad guy in that one. Both great actors. The apple didn’t fall far from the tree. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦

Really, I was thinking they look nothing at all alike! But, I also didn't recognize him from CHIPS until I read it here.

Chris should re-make CHiPs and he should play Sgt. Getraer, the part his Dad played

[@erinwalker711]

I was last year’s old when I learned he was his Dad.

The day you stop learning is the day you start dying... today I learned that the sarge on CHiPs is Chris Pine's dad. Hindsight is 2020... the similarities are there in looks and bearing.

[@Zoe-c9z]

He should do a remake of Encino Man. Because he is that humble😅

[@glcoola2349]

OMG body language and attitude and eloquence and just everything in Robert Pine is so much like Chris's. Or better the other way around!

[@Hakim21210]

His mother, Gwynne Gilford, was also an actress. She played in thrillers and fantastic heroic movies in the seventee's and eightee's like Masters of the Universe
